Abstract
The field of myofunctional therapy (MT) is complex, as it covers theoretical and practical information on many topics to effectively assess and treat orofacial myofunctional disorders, also known as myofunctional disorders, including tongue thrust, tongue posture, tongue-tie, orthodontic concepts, oral habits, and more. This review summarizes the strengths and usefulness of the book New Trends in Myofunctional Therapy: Occlusion, Muscles and Posture (Saccomanno & Paskay, 2020). The review informs the audience about various important features of the book, chapter materials, and the overall usefulness of the content for professionals working in MT. Providing cutting-edge information, the book draws substantive support from various interdisciplinary journal articles and clinical textbooks. Overall, the book is beneficial to leading professionals in MT as a resource for assessing and treating orofacial myofunctional disorders.
